Asking for or giving directions
If you are a tourist or a stranger in any strange place, you can easily get lost.
Although you have a very useful nevigation in your smartphone, it is not simple to find the right way.
At that time, asking for directions is one of the wonderful solutions for those who are lost.
They just know several megical sentences like "Excuse me, do you know where the subway station is?", " Excuse me, how can I get to the subway station?" or "Excuse me, I am looking for the subway station. Can you give me the directions?".
After you use these sentences to those who live in there, you can get answers that you are supposed to be. (or that you expect.)
On the other hand, you can also give directions to others who need the information.
At that moment, you can use several helpful phrases such as "go straight", "turn left or right", "take a left or a right" or "keep going.".
For example, you can say the next sentences.
"OK. If you go to the subway station from here, at first, go straight. And if you see a movie theater on your left side, turn left on the road. And go straight 2 blocks. You can see the starbucks building after the bank. And just turn around the corner at the starbucks. And then you can find the subway station."
